  • The best cases and screen protectors for Motorola Moto G35 5G — ranking 2026

    The best cases and screen protectors for Motorola Moto G35 5G — ranking 2026

    The best case for the Moto G35 5G is the Tech-Protect CamShield Pro (19 PLN) — rugged with a ring and slider for the camera. The best tempered glass is the 3mk HardGlass (29.90 PLN, hardness 9H). A complete protective set costs from 45 PLN — less than 7% of the phone’s price.

    The Moto G35 5G costs around 700 PLN, and replacing the display is more than half of that amount. In this guide, you will find specific recommendations for cases, tempered glasses, and protective films available at the Home Screen store. No fluff — just products with prices and specifications.

    The guide covers three categories: protective cases, glasses and screen films, and camera protection. We tested each product for materials, thickness, and value for money.

    Why is it worth protecting the Moto G35 5G?

    The Moto G35 5G is a solid budget phone with a 6.7-inch IPS LCD display and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. It has a plastic frame and back, which means two things: it is lighter than glass flagships, but also more prone to scratches.

    Key parameters influencing the choice of accessories:

    • 6.7″ IPS LCD display — large surface to protect, flat screen (no curve)
    • Plastic casing — scratches more easily than glass, but withstands drops better
    • 50 MP camera — protruding camera module requires protection
    • Dimensions: 163.8 x 74.8 x 8 mm, 186 g

    A flat display is good news — you can use both tempered glass and protective film without issues with adhesion on the edges.

    Tip: The Moto G35 5G does not support wireless charging, so you don’t need to pay attention to case compatibility with Qi. Focus on protection and ergonomics.

    The best cases for the Moto G35 5G — ranking

    At Home Screen, cases from three brands are available: Tech-Protect, 3mk, and Bizon. There are no Spigen or ESR — these brands do not produce accessories for budget Motorolas. This is not a problem: Tech-Protect and 3mk offer solid protection at affordable prices.

    1. Tech-Protect CamShield Pro — best protection with a ring (19 PLN)

    Our choice in the protection category

    For 19 PLN, you get a case that on paper competes with products priced at 50–70 PLN. Tech-Protect CamShield Pro combines a hybrid TPU + polycarbonate construction with three practical features:

    • Camera slider — a slider that covers the lenses, protects against scratches in your pocket
    • Ring 360° — the rotating ring serves as a stand and a finger grip
    • Reinforced corners — absorb the energy of a fall

    The inner material is soft TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), which absorbs shocks. The outer layer made of polycarbonate protects against scratches. Weight 70 g.

    The only downside? The ring adds thickness — the case does not lie flat on the table.

    2. 3mk Matt Case — matte elegance with certification (39.90 zł)

    If you care about appearance as much as protection, 3mk Matt Case is the best compromise. The matte finish does not collect fingerprints and feels pleasant in hand.

    What distinguishes 3mk? Certifications and tests. The Matt Case passed the Absorber125™ test — 26 drops from a height of 125 cm without damage. Additionally:

    • Washable — can be washed under water without detergents
    • EasyClick™ — buttons respond as if there is no case
    • PZH Certificate — confirmation of material safety
    • RoHS Certificate — compliance with environmental standards

    The material is TPU resistant to scratches, discoloration, and fingerprints. Raised edges protect the screen and camera.

    3. Tech-Protect Magmat — solid and the cheapest (15 zł)

    The cheapest case in the ranking, but that doesn’t mean poor quality. Tech-Protect Magmat is a TPU + polycarbonate hybrid in a matte black finish. For 15 zł you get:

    • Flexible polyurethane frame (shock absorption)
    • Hard polycarbonate back (scratch protection)
    • Button covers
    • Rating of 5/5 based on 2 reviews in the store

    Weight only 50 g — one of the lightest cases in the offer. No additional features like a ring or slider, but if you’re looking for simple, solid protection at the lowest price — it’s a perfect choice.

    4. Bizon Case Tur — armored with microfiber (35 zł)

    Bizon Case Tur is a proposal for those who prioritize protection. A thickness of 2 mm and reinforced corners with air cushions absorb the energy of a fall. Inside, microfiber protects the back of the phone from micro-scratches.

    • 3 colors to choose from: navy blue, light blue, light gray
    • Textured sides — the phone does not slip out of your hand
    • Raised edges around the screen and camera

    It will work well for people who work physically or often drop their phone.

    5. 3mk Clear Case — the best transparent (39.90 zł)

    Want to show the original color of the Moto G35 5G? 3mk Clear Case is a transparent case with a thickness of only 1.2 mm. Despite its slimness, it passed the Absorber125™ test (26 drops from 125 cm).

    • EasyClick™ — responsive buttons
    • Raised edges around the camera and screen
    • PZH and RoHS certification
    • 12-month warranty

    For whom? For users who want minimal protection without changing the look of their phone.

    Best tempered glasses and screen films for Moto G35 5G

    The flat 6.7″ display on the Moto G35 5G is the perfect surface for tempered glass — the lack of edge curvature means full adherence. Here are the best options.

    1. 3mk HardGlass — the best price-to-protection ratio (29.90 PLN)

    Our choice in the screen protection category

    Classic tempered glass with a hardness of 9H (the highest on the scale) and a thickness of 0.3 mm. 3mk HardGlass offers solid protection without unnecessary extras:

    • Tempering at 420°C — increased resistance to cracks
    • Oleophobic coating — fewer fingerprints
    • Rounded 2.5D edges — ergonomic, the edges of the glass are not felt by the finger
    • Inviscid-Sil™ adhesive — can be removed and reapplied without a trace
    • Installation kit included

    For 29.90 zł you get protection that can withstand contact with keys in your pocket and most accidental drops screen down.

    2. 3mk FlexibleGlass — hybrid with antibacterial protection (34.90 zł)

    A compromise between glass and film. 3mk FlexibleGlass is a hybrid glass reinforced with ceramic — hardness 7H, thickness 0.3 mm, but more flexible than traditional glass.

    What does the hybrid offer? It doesn’t crack as easily as regular glass and adheres better at the edges. An additional bonus:

    • Antibacterial coating — limits the growth of bacteria on the screen
    • Oleophobic coating
    • PZH and RoHS certifications
    • Fit-In™ mounting system — positioning overlays

    If you’ve ever shattered classic tempered glass, FlexibleGlass will be a more durable alternative.

    3. PanzerGlass Ultra-Wide Fit — premium without compromise (99 zł)

    The most expensive glass in the comparison, but it’s PanzerGlass — a premium brand from Denmark. Ultra-Wide Fit covers the entire screen surface with a margin, so you won’t see black edges between the glass and the phone frame.

    • Anti-reflective and oleophobic coating
    • 60% recycled materials — eco-production
    • 33% less paper in packaging than the previous generation
    • High impact resistance

    For whom? For users who want the best possible screen protection and are willing to pay for it. The difference between PanzerGlass and 3mk HardGlass in everyday use is minimal, but PanzerGlass offers wider coverage.

    4. 3mk ARC+ — self-healing film (39.90 zł)

    If you prefer film over glass, 3mk ARC+ is the best option. Thickness of 0.17 mm (three times thinner than glass) and Self-Heal™ technology — minor scratches disappear on their own within 24 hours.

    • Semi-wet installation — mounting gel allows for repositioning
    • Screen reinforcement by 150%
    • Compatible with fingerprint reader
    • RoHS certificate

    A film is a good choice if you don’t like the “thick glass” effect on the screen. It is practically invisible once applied.

    Camera protection — is it worth it?

    The Moto G35 5G has a protruding 50 MP camera module. When the phone is lying on its back on a table, the lens is exposed to scratches. Two solutions:

    3mk Lens Protection [4 PACK] — 14.90 zł

    Four hybrid glasses with a hardness of 7H and a thickness of 0.16 mm. Practically invisible, they do not affect photo quality. Oleophobic coating. For this price, you get a spare for two phones.

    Bizon Glass Snap Lens — 45 zł

    Tempered glass 9H with a black frame. Thicker (0.3 mm) and more visible, but harder. Includes a cloth and positioning stickers.

    Advice: If you are buying a case with a raised edge around the camera (like the Tech-Protect CamShield Pro with a slider), additional lens protection is optional. If you use a thin case or carry your phone without a case — 3mk Lens Protection for 14.90 PLN is cheap insurance.

    How to choose a protective set for Moto G35 5G?

    Three options tailored to your budget:

    Budget set (approx. 45 PLN)
    – Case: Tech-Protect Magmat — 15 PLN
    – Glass: 3mk HardGlass — 29.90 PLN
    Total: approx. 45 PLN — basic screen and body protection

    Optimal set (approx. 64 PLN)
    – Case: Tech-Protect CamShield Pro — 19 PLN
    – Glass: 3mk HardGlass — 29.90 PLN
    – Camera: 3mk Lens Protection — 14.90 PLN
    Total: approx. 64 PLN — complete protection with a ring and slider for the camera

    Premium set (approx. 154 PLN)
    – Case: 3mk Matt Case — 39.90 PLN
    – Glass: PanzerGlass Ultra-Wide Fit — 99 PLN
    – Camera: 3mk Lens Protection — 14.90 PLN
    Total: approx. 154 PLN — the best possible protection

    Our choice: The optimal set for approx. 64 PLN. You get a rugged case with a ring and slider, 9H tempered glass, and camera protection. That’s less than 10% of the phone’s price.

    FAQ — frequently asked questions

    Do Moto G35 5G fit cases from Moto G34?
    No. The Moto G35 5G has different dimensions and button placements than the Moto G34. Buy cases specifically marked as compatible with the Moto G35 5G.

    Can I use wireless charging with the case?
    The Moto G35 5G does not support wireless charging — it does not have a Qi coil. Information about compatibility with inductive charging for cases refers to the general product specification, not this specific phone.

    Tempered glass or film — which better protects the Moto G35 screen?
    Tempered glass (e.g., 3mk HardGlass, 9H) better protects against drops and scratches. Film (e.g., 3mk ARC+) is thinner and virtually invisible, but offers weaker mechanical protection. For most users, tempered glass will be the better choice.

    Is the PanzerGlass for 99 PLN worth its price?
    For most users, the 3mk HardGlass for 29.90 PLN provides sufficient protection. The PanzerGlass Ultra-Wide Fit stands out with wider screen coverage and premium construction, but the difference in everyday protection is not proportional to the price difference.

    How much does the Moto G35 5G weigh with a case?
    The phone itself weighs 186 g. With the lightest case (Tech-Protect Magmat, 50 g) — 236 g. With the heaviest (3mk Matt Case, 75 g) — 261 g.

    Summary

    The Moto G35 5G is a phone for about 700 PLN, and complete protection starts at 45 PLN. The best value for money is offered by Tech-Protect and 3mk products — both brands provide solid protection at affordable prices.

    Key findings:

    • Best case: Tech-Protect CamShield Pro (19 PLN) — ring, camera slider, hybrid construction
    • Best glass: 3mk HardGlass (29.90 PLN) — 9H, 0.3 mm, reusable adhesive
    • Best camera protection: 3mk Lens Protection (14.90 PLN) — 4 pieces for the price of one glass

    Regardless of the chosen set, even the cheapest case for 15 PLN is a better investment than a screen repair for 350 PLN.

  • What case for iPhone 17e? Top 5 cases for 2026

    What case for iPhone 17e? Top 5 cases for 2026

    The best case for the iPhone 17e is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Mag (95 PLN) — transparent with MagSafe and Air Cushion technology. The cheapest solid option is the Mercury Semi-Silicone (45 PLN) with microfiber inside. All 5 recommended cases support MagSafe and wireless charging.

    The iPhone 17e is a budget iPhone with an aluminum frame and glass back. It supports MagSafe and Qi2 inductive charging, so a case with a built-in magnetic ring is a must-have — without it, you lose the convenience of wireless charging and magnetic accessories.

    In this ranking, you will find 5 cases from 5 different brands — from the rugged Spigen to the elegant Guess. Each tested for materials, compatibility with MagSafe, and value for money. Prices range from 45 to 149 PLN — significantly cheaper than the original Apple case for 249 PLN.

    Tip: The iPhone 17e is compatible with cases labeled as “iPhone 16e” and “iPhone 16e / 17e”. The dimensions and button placements are identical, so they fit the 17e without any issues. In stores, most cases are still labeled as “iPhone 16e”.

    Check the full offer of cases for the iPhone 17e at homescreen.pl

    The iPhone 17e has a 6.1-inch display, an aluminum frame, and glass on the front and back. The glass back looks elegant but is prone to scratches and cracks when dropped. A good case protects both sides — raised edges shield the screen, while the back panel protects the glass from contact with surfaces. A MagSafe case additionally opens access to the ecosystem of Apple’s magnetic accessories: wireless chargers, power banks, and car mounts.

    Ranking: 5 best cases for the iPhone 17e

    1. Spigen iPhone 17e Case — Ultra Hybrid Mag MagSafe (95 zł)

    Our choice

    Spigen needs no introduction — it is one of the most recognizable case brands in the world. Ultra Hybrid Mag combines a transparent polycarbonate back with a flexible TPU frame and a built-in MagSafe ring.

    What sets this case apart?

    • Air Cushion Technology — air cushions in the corners absorb the impact energy
    • MagSafe — built-in magnetic ring, full compatibility with chargers and accessories
    • Transparent back — shows the original color of the iPhone 17e
    • Raised edges — 1.5 mm above the screen, 1 mm above the camera

    Weight 70 g and slim profile — the case does not add unnecessary thickness. The only downside? The price of 95 zł is the highest in the comparison (excluding Guess), but for Spigen, you pay for proven quality and a guarantee of precise fit.

    2. Ringke Fusion Magnetic MagSafe — armored case with certification (59 zł)

    Ringke is a Korean brand that has been competing with Spigen in the transparent case segment for years. Fusion Magnetic has a MIL-STD-810G certification — it has survived 26 drops from a height of 2 meters without damage. This is the toughest test in this comparison.

    • MIL-STD-810G-516.6 — military drop resistance certification
    • MagSafe — strong magnetic ring
    • Transparent polycarbonate — resistant to yellowing
    • Precise cutouts for all ports and buttons

    For 59 zł you get a rugged case for iPhone 17e , which in terms of mechanical protection surpasses Spigen (MIL-STD certification vs Air Cushion). If drop resistance is a priority, Ringke is a better choice at a lower price. The case does not block wireless charging or MagSafe.

    3. Tech-Protect MagRack MagSafe — stand included (49 zł)

    Tech-Protect MagRack stands out from the competition with one feature: retractable stand. You can place your iPhone vertically or horizontally — perfect for watching movies, video calls, or navigation on your desk.

    • 2-in-1 stand — vertical and horizontal mode
    • MagSafe — wireless charging without removing the case
    • Matte black finish — does not collect fingerprints
    • Raised edges around the screen and camera
    • Compatibility confirmed — case marked as “iPhone 16e / 17e”

    For 49 zł you get a case with a stand for iPhone 17e, MagSafe, and a matte finish. This is the best value for functionality in this ranking. Weight 100 g — slightly heavier than the rest due to the stand mechanism, but the difference is unnoticeable in your pocket.

    4. Guess Peony Script Logo MagSafe — elegance for her (149 zł)

    A case from a fashion brand, not a technology one — and that is its strength. Guess Peony Script Logo is a case that looks like a fashion accessory, not a plastic cover. Eco-leather, the gold Guess logo, and a floral pattern catch the eye.

    • Eco-leather — premium look and feel
    • Gold Guess logo — distinctive branding
    • MagSafe — full compatibility with chargers
    • Hardcase construction — rigid casing protects against scratches
    • Raised edges around the screen and lens

    For 149 PLN, you primarily pay for the brand and design. The mechanical protection is solid (hardcase + raised edges), but without MIL-STD or Air Cushion certifications. If your case is to complement your style, not just provide protection — Guess is the only such choice in the offer.

    5. Mercury Silicone MagSafe — the cheapest with class (45 zł)

    Best price in the ranking

    The cheapest case in the comparison, but not just any case. Mercury Semi-Silicone has a silicone surface with a velvety microfiber inside — the same material that Apple uses in its official cases for 249 zł.

    • Microfiber inside — protects the back glass from micro-scratches
    • Soft-touch silicone — pleasant to the touch, does not slip from the hand
    • MagSafe — wireless charging without removal
    • Stain resistant — silicone does not yellow over time
    • Raised edges around the screen and camera

    For 45 PLN, you get a case that looks and feels like a product worth 100+ PLN. No durability certifications, no extra features — but as a daily case with good protection and a nice touch, Mercury is hard to beat at this price.

    How to choose a case for iPhone 17e? What to pay attention to

    Three criteria that matter most when choosing a case for the iPhone 17e.

    1. Compatibility with MagSafe
    The iPhone 17e supports MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging — look for cases with a built-in magnetic ring. All 5 cases in this ranking have MagSafe. Without it, you will lose compatibility with wireless chargers, wallets, and car mounts. The MagSafe ring should be built into the case, not stuck on — adhesive magnets are weaker and may come off after a few months.

    2. Material and type of protection
    TPU + polycarbonate (Spigen, Ringke, Tech-Protect) — the best mechanical protection, absorbs drops. Ideal for those who frequently drop their phone or work in active conditions.

    Silicone with microfiber (Mercury) — pleasant to the touch, good scratch protection. Works well for everyday use — does not slip out of hands and effectively absorbs light impacts.

    Eco-leather (Guess) — premium look, weaker mechanical protection. Best as a fashion accessory, less so for protection against drops from height.

    3. Additional features
    – Stand (Tech-Protect MagRack) — useful for watching movies, video calls, and navigation on the desk

    – MIL-STD certification (Ringke) — guaranteed drop resistance from 2 meters

    – Air Cushion (Spigen) — air cushions in the corners absorb impact energy

    – Microfiber inside (Mercury) — protects the glass back from micro-scratches

    What to avoid? Cheap cases without MagSafe from marketplaces (Temu, AliExpress). They often have weak magnets, turn yellow after 2-3 weeks, and do not fit precisely to the cutouts for buttons. With a case priced at 20-30 PLN, you save 15 PLN compared to Mercury, but you lose on material quality and fit.

    Complete protection for the iPhone 17e is not just a case — it’s worth adding tempered glass for the iPhone 17e to secure both elements: the back and the front.

    FAQ — frequently asked questions about cases for the iPhone 17e

    Do cases for the iPhone 16e fit the iPhone 17e?
    Yes. The iPhone 17e and iPhone 16e have identical dimensions and button placements. Cases labeled as “iPhone 16e” fit the iPhone 17e without any issues.

    Does the iPhone 17e support MagSafe?
    Yes. The iPhone 17e has a built-in MagSafe magnetic ring. Choose cases labeled “MagSafe” to maintain full compatibility with chargers and magnetic accessories.

    Which case best protects against drops?
    The Ringke Fusion Magnetic with MIL-STD-810G certification (26 drops from 2 meters). In second place is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Mag with Air Cushion technology in the corners.

    Is the Mercury silicone case sufficient for protecting the iPhone 17e?
    Yes, for everyday use. Silicone absorbs light drops, and microfiber protects against scratches. It does not have the durability certifications like Ringke or Spigen, but for the average user, the protection is sufficient.

    How much does an iPhone 17e case cost?
    From 45 PLN (Mercury Semi-Silicone) to 149 PLN (Guess Peony Script Logo). You can buy an optimal case with good protection and MagSafe for 49–95 PLN.

    Does the iPhone 17e charge wirelessly through the case?
    Yes. The iPhone 17e supports Qi2 and MagSafe wireless charging up to 15W. All cases in this ranking allow for wireless charging without removal — just a case with MagSafe is needed for the charger to fit perfectly against the phone.

    Is a case with a stand heavier?
    Yes, but only slightly. The Tech-Protect MagRack weighs 100 g — 20-30 g more than the other cases in the comparison. The difference is practically unnoticeable in your pocket, and the stand significantly increases functionality.

    Which MagSafe accessories work with the iPhone 17e case?
    All cases in this ranking are compatible with the full MagSafe ecosystem: wireless chargers, power banks, MagSafe wallets, and car mounts.

    Summary

    The iPhone 17e deserves a good MagSafe case — and you don’t have to spend a fortune. For just 45 PLN, you get a silicone Mercury with microfiber inside, and for 59 PLN, a rugged Ringke with military certification.

    Key takeaways:

    • Best protection: Ringke Fusion Magnetic (59 PLN) — MIL-STD-810G, 26 drops from 2 m
    • Best price-to-function ratio: Tech-Protect MagRack (49 zł) — stand + MagSafe
    • Best premium brand: Spigen Ultra Hybrid Mag (95 zł) — Air Cushion, transparent
    • For her: Guess Peony Script Logo (149 zł) — eco-leather, gold logo
    • Lowest price: Mercury Semi-Silicone (45 zł) — silicone with microfiber

    All 5 cases support MagSafe and wireless charging. Choose the one that fits your style and budget.

  • The Best Wireless Charger for Samsung Galaxy S26 – TOP 5 (2026)

    The Best Wireless Charger for Samsung Galaxy S26 – TOP 5 (2026)

    The best wireless charger for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra should support 25 W in the Qi2 standard, because only then will you utilize the full power of the phone.

    For Galaxy S26+Plus, models of 20–25 W will be optimal, while the basic Galaxy S26 will fully utilize 15 W chargers.

    If you choose a magnetic charger, you also need a case with a built-in magnetic ring that stabilizes the phone during charging.

    Therefore, before purchasing a charger, it is worth selecting a  MagSafe case for Galaxy S26 that will ensure full compatibility with magnetic Qi2 chargers and maximum charging efficiency.

    Additionally, pay attention to whether the charger is:

    • a classic pad,
    • a vertical charging stand,
    • or a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 station (phone + headphones + watch).

    If you want it to be a truly  fast charger for Galaxy S26, pay attention to the maximum power supported by your model and support for the Qi2 standard.

    Which wireless charger to choose for Galaxy S26?

    Choosing the right wireless charger for the Galaxy S26 primarily depends on the model of the phone and how you use the device. The Galaxy S26 series supports various charging powers, so it’s worth selecting a charger to fully utilize your smartphone’s capabilities.

    How to choose a charger for a specific Galaxy S26 model?

    If you are using the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the best choice will be a charger supporting 25 W in the Qi2 standard, as it allows you to achieve maximum charging speed without using a cable.

    In the case of Galaxy S26+, the optimal solution will be a charger offering around 20 W of power, which will allow you to charge the phone faster than standard models of 10–15 W.

    On the other hand, the Galaxy S26 supports wireless charging up to about 15 W, so even simpler Qi chargers will be fully sufficient for everyday use.

    • magnetic alignment of the phone in the Qi2 standard
    • convenient form of desk or nightstand stand

    Thanks to this, the charger can become not only a power source but also a convenient element of everyday smartphone use.

  • iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra – which flagship to choose in 2026?

    iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra – which flagship to choose in 2026?

    If you care about the Apple ecosystem, stability, and great video — the better choice will be the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

    On the other hand, if you prioritize maximum specifications, a 200 MP camera, S Pen, and greater control over the system — the Galaxy S26 Ultra offers more technology.

    6,299 PLN for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. 6,499 PLN for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. The difference? 200 PLN and two completely different ecosystems. On paper, both phones have 6.9-inch screens, flagship processors, and cameras that make DSLRs from a few years ago look pale in comparison. But the devil is in the details.

    If you’re wondering which one will be your companion for the next 3-4 years, this article will help you make an informed decision.

    📊 Specifications – iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Galaxy S26 Ultra

    Before we get into the details, here’s a comparison of the key parameters side by side:

    At first glance, it’s clear: these are two different approaches to a flagship. Samsung focuses on camera resolution and faster charging, while Apple emphasizes the video ecosystem and memory capacity. Let’s get into the details.

    Performance and Processor

    A19 Pro vs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

    The iPhone 17 Pro Max is powered by Apple A19 Pro — a chip manufactured using a 2 nm process with a 6-core CPU and a 6-core GPU featuring hardware ray tracing. Samsung counters with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from Qualcomm, which Samsung uses in all regions (no more Exynos in Europe).

    Benchmarks vs Reality

    In Geekbench 6 tests, Samsung surprised: the Galaxy S26 Ultra scored 11,738 points in multi-core — about 20% more than the iPhone 17 Pro Max (~9,700 pts). Single-core? Samsung also leads with a score of 3,852 points.

    Does this mean that Samsung is faster in everyday use? Not necessarily. iOS traditionally optimizes resources better, so an iPhone with less RAM (12 GB vs 16 GB in the top version of Samsung) can perform just as smoothly. The differences in benchmarks mainly translate to:

    • Video and 3D graphics rendering — here Samsung has a measurable advantage
    • Multitasking with multiple heavy applications — 16 GB of RAM gives Samsung a buffer
    • Everyday applications (social media, browser, maps) — both phones operate at the same speed

    💡 Tip: If you are not rendering video on your phone and not playing the latest 3D games, you simply won’t notice any performance differences between these two flagships.


    Display – iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

    Resolution, brightness, and screen features

    The iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra offer large, 6.9-inch OLED displays with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. However, this is where the similarities between the screens of both flagships essentially end.

    Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has a higher screen resolution — 3120 × 1440 px (498 ppi), while iPhone 17 Pro Max offers 2868 × 1320 px (460 ppi). In practice, you will notice the difference in sharpness mainly when viewing text or images very closely. In everyday use, both displays are simply phenomenally sharp.

    Where does the iPhone 17 Pro Max catch up? Screen brightness. Apple claims even up to 3000 nits at peak (e.g., in full sunlight) — this is one of the highest values on the smartphone market. Galaxy S26 Ultra reaches about 2600 nits, so in very bright conditions, the iPhone may be slightly more readable.

    However, Samsung has something that we won’t find in the iPhone — the Privacy Display feature. This technology limits the screen viewing angle, so people sitting next to you on the bus or train won’t see your messages or banking app. In terms of privacy, this is a very practical solution.

    📸 Camera and Photography

    This is where the most interesting part of the comparison begins. Both phones have camera systems that compete with compact cameras, but they approach photography from different angles.

    Main Camera: 48 MP vs 200 MP

    Samsung boasts a 200 MP with an aperture of f/1.4 — the brightest aperture in Galaxy history. It lets in 47% more light than the S25 Ultra (f/1.7). The iPhone responds with a “modest” 48 MP, but with optical sensor-shift stabilization.

    Is 200 MP better than 48 MP? By default, both phones take pictures at ~12 MP (through pixel binning). Samsung wins in situations where you want to pull out detail — the full 200 MP provides huge files for cropping. The iPhone focuses on color consistency across all three lenses.

    Zoom: periscope system

    Ultrawide48 MP, 0.5x50 MP, 0.6x
    Main48 MP, 1x-2x200 MP, 1x
    Telephoto #110 MP, 3x
    Telephoto #248 MP, 4x (8x optical)50 MP, 5x
    Max digital zoom40x100x (Space Zoom AI)

    Samsung offers two telephoto lenses (3x and 5x), providing greater flexibility. The iPhone has one 4x telephoto lens, but with the ability to crop to 8x without loss of quality (thanks to the 48 MP sensor). In practice, both systems deliver excellent results up to ~10x zoom. Above that, Samsung leads with its 100x Space Zoom supported by AI.

    Selfies and Portrait Mode

    The iPhone wins in selfies — 18 MP with autofocus and Center Stage vs 12 MP on Samsung. Center Stage automatically crops the shot, tracking your face during video calls. Samsung has HDR10+ in selfies, but with lower resolution.

    🎬 Video and Filming

    This is a category where the iPhone traditionally dominates — and the 17 Pro Max maintains this position.

    iPhone 17 Pro Max records 4K Dolby Vision up to 120 fps and supports ProRes — a format used in professional post-production. Slow-motion in 4K at 120 fps is a quality that just 3 years ago required a camera costing several thousand zlotys. Additionally, Spatial Video for Apple Vision Pro.

    Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra records 8K at 30 fps — higher resolution on paper, but 30 fps limits smoothness. In 4K, Samsung offers up to 120 fps, which levels the playing field. However, there is no equivalent to ProRes — Samsung’s files are compressed.

    FeatureiPhone 17 Pro MaxGalaxy S26 Ultra
    Max resolution4K 120 fps (Dolby Vision)8K 30 fps
    ProRes / pro format✅ ProRes 4K 120 fps
    Slow-motion4K 120fps, 1080p 240fps4K 120fps, 1080p 240fps
    Spatial Video
    StabilizationSensor-shift OISOIS

    Verdict: If filming is a priority for you, the iPhone has no competition in the smartphone segment. If you mainly record short clips for social media, both phones perform excellently.


    🔋 Battery and Charging

    Battery capacity and charging speed

    Samsung has a larger battery (5,000 mAh vs 4,823 mAh), but the iPhone compensates with better energy optimization. Apple claims 39 hours of video playback for the Pro Max — one of the best results on the market.

    Where does Samsung clearly win? Wired charging.

    ChargingiPhone 17 Pro MaxGalaxy S26 Ultra
    Wired40 W (50% in 20 min)60 W (75% in 30 min)
    Wireless25 W (MagSafe/Qi2)25 W (Qi2.2)
    Reverse charging✅ (MagSafe)✅ (4.5 W)

    Samsung charges significantly faster via wired — 60 W vs 40 W. If you forgot to charge your phone overnight, Samsung will get back to 75% in half an hour. The iPhone takes longer, although 50% in 20 minutes is still a decent result.

    Wireless charging is a tie — 25 W on both sides. Both support reverse charging (charging headphones or a watch from the phone).


    🤖 AI and Software

    This is a category that in 2026 becomes one of the most important differentiators. Both phones offer advanced AI features, but in different styles.

    Apple Intelligence

    Apple Intelligence operates deeply within iOS 26. Key features:

    • Siri with context — understands what is on the screen, continues the conversation, executes complex commands
    • Writing tools — summarization, tone correction, rewriting text in any application
    • Genmoji — generating personalized emojis from a description
    • Image Playground — creating AI images in illustration style
    • Notification prioritization — AI sorts notifications by importance

    Galaxy AI

    Samsung Galaxy AI in S26 Ultra offers:

    • Real-time conversation translation — during phone calls, without internet
    • Circle to Search — circle anything on the screen to search for it
    • Generative Edit — filling in photo fragments with AI-generated content
    • Note Assist — note summaries, transcription of recordings
    • Privacy Display AI — intelligent dimming of the screen when someone is looking from the side

    Updates — how many years of support?

    Here is the key difference. Apple traditionally supports iPhones for 6-7 years of iOS updates. Samsung promises 7 years of system and security updates starting with the S24 series — matching Apple.

    In practice, both phones purchased today will receive updates until 2032-2033. This means that an investment of ~6,300 PLN is spread over at least 7 years of support.

    💰 Price and Value for Money

    How much does the iPhone 17 Pro Max cost vs the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra?

    VariantiPhone 17 Pro MaxGalaxy S26 Ultra
    256 GB6,299 PLN6,499 PLN
    512 GB7,299 PLN7,499 PLN
    1 TB8,299 PLN9,499 PLN
    2 TB10,299 PLN❌ not available

    iPhone 17 Pro Max is about 200 PLN cheaper than the Galaxy S26 Ultra in every memory variant. In practice, this means that regardless of the chosen version — 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB — the Apple smartphone remains slightly more affordable.

    Additionally, Apple is the only one offering a variant with as much as 2 TB of memory, which we won’t find in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This can be especially significant for those recording a lot of high-quality video or photographers working with ProRAW and ProRes files, which can take up a lot of space.

    💡 Tip: If 256 GB turns out to be too little, and 1 TB too much, the best compromise for most users will be the 512 GB variant. In both models, it costs around 7,300–7,500 PLN and offers enough space for photos, videos, and applications for several years of use.


    iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra – summary

    Which flagship will be the better choice?

    After analyzing 8 categories, there is no clear winner. Both phones are phenomenal, but they target different users.

    Best tempered glass for Galaxy S26 Ultra — quick selection

    If you don’t want to analyze the entire ranking, below you will find quick recommendations based on your needs.

    Each of the above is a proven tempered glass for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which effectively protects the screen from scratches and mechanical damage.


    How to choose tempered glass for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra?

    Choosing the right tempered glass for Galaxy S26 Ultra depends on several factors: level of protection, ease of installation, and the type of coating on the glass surface.

    Glass hardness

    The best tempered glasses have 9H hardness, which protects the screen from scratches caused by keys, coins, or sand particles.

    It is worth remembering that tempered glass is meant to break instead of the phone’s display. Replacing the glass costs several dozen zlotys, while repairing the Galaxy S26 Ultra screen can cost over 1000 zlotys.


    Installation system

    More and more manufacturers are using installation frames that facilitate the perfect fit of the glass to the screen.

    You can find such solutions in models like:

    • Spigen Glas.tr EZ Fit
    • ESR UltraFit Armorite
    • Ringke Easy Slide

    Thanks to this, the installation of the glass is quick and practically bubble-free.


    Oleophobic coating

    The oleophobic coating reduces fingerprints and smudges on the screen, making the phone cleaner and easier to use.

    In practice, all good tempered glasses for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra have such a coating.


    Compatibility with cases

    Good glass should be marked as case friendly, meaning it is minimally narrower than the entire screen surface. This way, the case does not lift the glass at the edges.

    FAQ – frequently asked questions about tempered glass for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

    Does tempered glass for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra affect the operation of the fingerprint reader?

    Good tempered glass for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is compatible with the fingerprint reader in the screen. However, it is important to properly install the glass and increase the touch sensitivity in the phone settings.


    Does tempered glass degrade image quality?

    No. High-quality tempered glasses for Galaxy S26 Ultra are practically invisible on the screen. They offer high transparency and an oleophobic coating that reduces fingerprints.


    Does tempered glass protect the screen from cracking?

    Tempered glass is primarily designed to absorb impact energy and shatter instead of the phone screen. This protects the display from more serious damage.


    Is tempered glass compatible with cases?

    Yes. Most models are designed to be case-friendly, meaning they are slightly smaller than the entire screen surface. This way, the case does not lift the glass at the edges.


    How often should tempered glass be replaced?

    Tempered glass is usually replaced when it cracks or gets heavily scratched. That’s why many products are sold in 2-pack sets, allowing one piece of glass to be kept as a spare.

     

  • OnePlus 15T — specifications, price, and release date of the compact flagship

    OnePlus 15T — specifications, price, and release date of the compact flagship

    OnePlus 15T in Relaxing Matcha color — official photo

    OnePlus 15T is a compact flagship with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 6.32″ 165 Hz display, and a 7500 mAh battery. The smartphone will feature a LUMO periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom — a first for OnePlus’s compact design. The launch in China is expected in the second half of March 2026.

    OnePlus 15T targets a niche that most manufacturers have ignored for years — compact flagships with top specifications. Weighing just 194 g and measuring 8.5 mm thick, the device houses a 7500 mAh battery, the latest Qualcomm processor, and a periscope camera. OnePlus itself calls it a “little demon,” and it’s hard to disagree.

    OnePlus 15T specifications — key parameters

    Parameter OnePlus 15T
    Display 6.32″ AMOLED LTPO, 1.5K (1216 x 2640), 165 Hz
    Screen Protection Crystal Shield Glass
    Processor Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (3 nm)
    RAM 12 / 16 GB LPDDR5x
    Storage 256 GB / 512 GB / 1 TB UFS 4.1
    Main Camera 50 MP, f/1.8, OIS
    Telephoto Lens 50 MP LUMO, periscope, 3.5x zoom, OIS
    Front Camera 32 MP, f/2.4
    Battery 7500 mAh (Glacier)
    Wired Charging 100 W
    Wireless Charging 50 W
    Resistance IP68 / IP69
    System Android 16 + OxygenOS 16
    Biometric Reader ultrasonic under-display
    Dimensions ~8.5 mm thick, ~194 g
    Colors Relaxing Matcha, Healing White Chocolate, Pure Cocoa

    165 Hz Display in a Compact Body

    The OnePlus 15T will feature a 6.32-inch AMOLED LTPO panel with a resolution of 1.5K (1216 x 2640 pixels) and a refresh rate of 165 Hz. This is the highest refresh rate in OnePlus’s lineup — the standard OnePlus 15 has “only” 120 Hz.

    The screen supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+. It is protected by Crystal Shield Glass, and beneath the panel is an ultrasonic fingerprint reader — faster and more accurate than optical solutions. The display is flat with symmetrically narrow bezels, emphasizing the compact nature of the device.

    For comparison — 6.32 inches is a size similar to the iPhone 16 Pro (6.3″), which many users consider an optimal compromise between one-handed use and content viewing comfort.

    Camera — LUMO periscope with 3.5x zoom

    OnePlus 15T LUMO periscope camera — close-up

    The OnePlus 15T camera setup is a dual configuration: a main sensor of 50 MP (f/1.8, OIS) and a 50 MP LUMO periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom, OIS, and an equivalent focal length of 85 mm.

    The LUMO lens uses the same technology that OnePlus implemented in the 15 model. The periscope design allows for a long focal length to fit in a thin body without a protruding camera module. The f/2.8 aperture in the telephoto lens is typical for this type of solution — comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or iPhone 17 Pro Max.

    OnePlus opted out of an ultra-wide-angle lens in favor of better quality from the two main sensors. This is a bold decision — but in practice, most users reach for zoom more often than for ultra-wide angles.

    The front camera of 32 MP (f/2.4) will provide good quality for selfies and video calls. Video recording with the rear cameras supports 4K resolution at 30 and 60 fps.

    Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — peak performance

    The heart of the OnePlus 15T is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — the latest flagship processor from Qualcomm manufactured using a 3 nm process. The Adreno 840 GPU handles graphics, while the dedicated P3 chip supports the display.

    The OnePlus 15T has already appeared in AnTuTu with a score of 4.45 million points — one of the highest results on the market. Additionally, it features LPDDR5x RAM (12 or 16 GB) and lightning-fast UFS 4.1 storage options of 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB.

    In practice, this means seamless handling of even the most demanding games, multitasking with several open applications, and instant program launches. The dedicated gaming processor further optimizes the experience in mobile titles.

    7500 mAh Glacier Battery — a record in a compact flagship

    The biggest surprise is the battery capacity. 7500 mAh (Glacier technology) in a smartphone weighing 194 g and measuring 8.5 mm thick — these specifications seemed unattainable in a compact body just a year ago.

    For context: the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has a 5000 mAh battery, and the iPhone 17 Pro — about 3900 mAh. The OnePlus 15T offers nearly double the capacity of Apple’s flagship in a smaller body.

    Wired charging 100 W will recharge the battery in under 40 minutes. Wireless charging 50 W is a convenient alternative, and reverse charging at 5 W allows you to emergency charge your headphones or watch. For longer trips, a power bank will also come in handy — with this battery capacity, a compact 10,000 mAh model will suffice.

    Tip: With a 7500 mAh battery and 100 W charging, one charge will easily last two days of intensive use. If you’re looking for a wall charger with the appropriate power — aim for models 100 W+ with USB PD and PPS support.

    Design — three “dessert” colors

    OnePlus 15T all colors — Matcha, White Chocolate, Pure Cocoa

    The OnePlus 15T is available in three color variants inspired by desserts:

    • Relaxing Matcha — green, reminiscent of Japanese matcha tea
    • Healing White Chocolate — light, creamy shade
    • Pure Cocoa — dark, chocolate brown

    The device has an IP68 rating (submersion up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes) and IP69 (protection against high-pressure hot water jets). This is the highest level of resistance in the smartphone market.

    At a weight of 194 g and a thickness of 8.5 mm, the OnePlus 15T is lighter than many smartphones with smaller batteries. Its compact dimensions and flat screen make it easy to use with one hand.

    OnePlus 15T vs OnePlus 15 — key differences

    Parameter OnePlus 15T OnePlus 15
    Display 6.32″, 165 Hz 6.82″, 120 Hz
    Battery 7500 mAh (Glacier) 7300 mAh

    Ultrawide none 50 MP
    Weight ~194 g ~207 g
    Price in Poland unknown from 4,299 PLN

    The OnePlus 15T is a more compact alternative to the OnePlus 15. It has a smaller screen (6.32″ vs 6.82″), a lighter build, and a newer processor — but at the cost of lacking an ultrawide lens. The battery is larger in terms of grams per weight (7500 mAh in 194 g vs 7300 mAh in 207 g). The telephoto lens on the 15T is also better — 3.5x zoom vs 3x in the standard model.

    Release and price of OnePlus 15T

    OnePlus has officially announced the 15T model, but the exact release date has not yet been provided. Everything indicates a debut in China in the second half of March 2026.

    The global premiere — including the European one — is likely to take place 4–6 weeks later, which means April or May 2026. The price in Europe has not yet been revealed, but considering the positioning of the model and the price of the OnePlus 15 (from 4,299 PLN in Poland), the OnePlus 15T should cost similarly or slightly less.

    In the Chinese market, the OnePlus 15T will operate with the ColorOS 16 overlay, while the global version will receive OxygenOS 16 — both based on Android 16.

    Who is the OnePlus 15T for?

    The OnePlus 15T is a smartphone for those who:

    • Prefer compact dimensions and one-handed operation
    • Do not want to give up flagship performance and long battery life
    • Value a good camera with optical zoom in a smaller body
    • Are looking for an alternative to large flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or OnePlus 15

    Tip: If you decide to go for the OnePlus 15T after its premiere in Poland, it’s worth securing it right away with a case and tempered glass. Check out the accessory offer for OnePlus at homescreen.pl — they will be available with the device’s launch.

    Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro - three color variants (pink, white, black) in open cases

    🔊 Sound quality of Galaxy Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro

    Both models of Samsung in-ear headphones have a dual-driver system, but in the Buds 4 Pro, Samsung replaced both.

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have a larger 11 mm woofer (vs 10.5 mm). In practice, this provides about 20% more diaphragm area, resulting in deeper, more controlled bass. Reviewers from SoundGuys and What Hi-Fi describe the sound as energetic yet precise, with better instrument separation.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, on the other hand, have a larger 6.1 mm planar tweeter (vs 5.4 mm in Buds 4 Pro). Theoretically, this should provide an advantage in high frequencies, but tests show that the Buds 3 Pro tended to have overly strong bass that “bled” into the mids.

    Audio codecs

    Both models support the same codecs: SBC, AAC, LC3, and Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC UHQ) with a resolution of up to 24 bit/96 kHz. Neither supports LDAC or aptX. SSC UHQ requires a Samsung Galaxy S23 or newer smartphone with One UI 6.1.1+.

    This means that you will only get the full sound quality with a Samsung smartphone. With an iPhone or phones from other brands, these Samsung wireless headphones are limited to AAC, which is a noticeable loss of quality compared to SSC UHQ.

    Tuning and sound character

    The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have a slightly darker tuning with less emphasis on the high frequencies. The bass is deep but does not dominate the rest of the range. The mid frequencies (vocals, acoustic instruments) sound cleaner than in the predecessor.

    The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have a brighter tuning with more detail in the high frequencies. The soundstage is slightly wider, but the bass can be too expansive, which in some genres (e.g., EDM, hip-hop) leads to “muddiness” in the low frequencies.

    The Buds 4 Pro win in sound quality. Better controlled bass, cleaner mid frequencies, and generally a more balanced presentation. The difference is not revolutionary, but it is noticeable.

    🔇 ANC: Galaxy Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro

    This is one of the biggest leaps between generations of these Samsung headphones.

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro feature Adaptive ANC 2.0, which monitors the environment in real-time and adjusts the noise cancellation to specific frequencies. In SoundGuys tests, these Samsung wireless earbuds reduced around 84% of ambient noise, placing them on par with AirPods Pro 3.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have first-generation Adaptive ANC, which operates based on programmed algorithms. It still provides effective noise reduction, but does not respond as dynamically to changing conditions.

    The biggest improvement is seen in the range below 1 kHz, where the noise from air conditioning, fans, and street traffic resides. Both models struggle with sudden loud sounds.

    Ambient Mode and Voice Detection

    Both Samsung earbuds have:
    Voice Detection: automatic switching to ambient mode when you start speaking
    Ambient Mode: allowing sounds from the environment
    Adaptive EQ: adjustment to the shape of the ear

    In ambient mode, Buds 4 Pro sound a bit more natural. The sounds from the environment do not have the “metallic” aftertaste that sometimes appeared in Buds 3 Pro. This is important if you use ambient mode on a daily basis (e.g., in the office).

    Buds 4 Pro win this category. Adaptive ANC 2.0 is a real improvement, not a marketing slogan.

    🎙️ Call Quality

    Here the difference is most apparent and concerns both sides of the connection.

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have 6 microphones with a VPU (Voice Pickup Unit) sensor, meaning bone conduction. Additionally, they feature Super Clear Call technology with a bandwidth of 16 kHz (Super Wideband), but only when paired with the Galaxy S26.

    In a quiet environment, the voice sounds clear and natural. In noise, the microphone performs well, although there is a slight “digitalization” of the voice. The VPU captures vibrations from the jawbone, which helps isolate the voice from background noise.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro also have 6 microphones, but without the VPU sensor. They support AI noise cancellation, but reviewers rated the call quality as “below average,” especially in loud environments.

    Super Clear Call is an exclusive feature of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro that doubles the voice bandwidth (from 8 kHz to 16 kHz). In practice, the caller hears you more clearly, and your voice sounds more natural. However, this requires the Galaxy S26, S26+, or S26 Ultra.

    Winner: Buds 4 Pro. VPU and Super Clear Call are noticeable improvements, especially for those who make a lot of phone calls.

    🔋 Samsung Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro Battery

    On paper, both models look identical: 6 hours with ANC, 7 hours without ANC, 26/30 hours with the case. But tests from independent publications paint a different picture.

    ParameterBuds 4 Pro (test)Buds 3 Pro (test)
    ANC on (SoundGuys)6 h 1 min4 h 31 min
    Headphone capacity61 mAh53 mAh
    Case capacity530 mAh515 mAh

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro with a 61 mAh battery (15% more than Buds 3 Pro) achieved exactly 6 hours and 1 minute in SoundGuys tests with ANC on. This result is close to the manufacturer’s claims.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro with a 53 mAh battery lasted only 4 hours and 31 minutes in the same tests, which is 25% less than the claimed 6 hours.

    Both models charge via USB-C and wirelessly (Qi). Samsung does not provide exact charging times, but in practice, fully charging the case with a cable takes about 1.5 hours. The earbuds themselves charge to full in about 50-60 minutes while in the case.

    Battery: Advantage Buds 4 Pro. An hour and a half longer battery life in real conditions is a significant difference, especially during travel or long workouts.

    🎨 Design and Comfort

    Samsung has changed its approach to design in the Buds 4 Pro, focusing on premium materials.

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have metal (aluminum) stems with a matte finish and delicate touch grooves. The case is flat, horizontal, with a transparent cover through which the earbuds are visible. Weighing 5.1 g per earbud makes them one of the lighter in this class.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have plastic stems with a backlit LED strip that lights up during pairing and notifications. The case is vertical, traditional, without a transparent cover. Weighing 5.4 g per earbud.

    Fit and Ear Tips

    The difference of 0.3 g per earbud sounds like nothing, but it matters during hours of wear. Both models come with 4 sizes of silicone ear tips (XS, S, M, L). Samsung claims that the Buds 4 Pro were designed based on the analysis of 100 million ear scans and 10,000 virtual simulations.

    In practice, both models sit securely in the ear and are suitable for running and exercising. The IP57 certification means protection against dust and immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, which is sufficient for sweating during workouts.

    Available colors:
    – Buds 4 Pro: Black, White, Pink Gold
    – Buds 3 Pro: Silver, White

    A tie with a slight advantage for Buds 4 Pro. The aluminum stems look premium, and the lighter weight improves comfort. But if you like the LED on the stems of Buds 3 Pro, it’s a matter of taste.

    📱 Smart features and Samsung ecosystem

    Head gestures (only Buds 4 Pro)

    A new feature exclusive to Samsung Buds 4 Pro: nodding your head answers a call, shaking your head rejects it. Works only with Samsung phones. A small but useful novelty when your hands are busy while cooking, training, or cycling.

    Voice assistant

    Buds 4 Pro support both Gemini and Bixby simultaneously: you say “Hey Google” or “Hey Bixby” without needing to select in settings. Buds 3 Pro require choosing one assistant (Bixby, Google Assistant, or Siri).

    Having a dual assistant means you can use Gemini for questions and searches, and Bixby for controlling your Samsung phone settings. It’s a convenient solution for Galaxy ecosystem users.

    Spatial Audio and 360 Audio

    Both Samsung headphone models support spatial audio with head tracking. The effect is most noticeable when watching movies on the Samsung Galaxy Tab. In music, Spatial Audio can be controversial as it widens the soundstage at the expense of precision.

    Other Common Features

    Both models have:
    Real-Time Interpreter: real-time conversation translation (requires Galaxy AI)
    Auracast: audio sharing via Bluetooth LE Audio (e.g., sharing music with a friend)
    SmartThings Find: locating lost earbuds
    Adapt Sound: sound personalization based on hearing tests
    Dialogue Boost: enhancing dialogues in movies and podcasts
    Fall Detection: automatic notification to emergency contacts

    Compatibility with Phones

    These Samsung earbuds work with both Android and iOS. However, you will only fully utilize their capabilities (SSC UHQ, head gestures, Super Clear Call, Galaxy AI) with a Samsung smartphone.

    With an iPhone, you lose: head gestures, Super Clear Call, SSC UHQ codec, SmartThings Find, and automatic pairing. You are left with AAC, basic ANC, and touch controls. If you have an iPhone, consider AirPods Pro 3 as an alternative.

    💰 Price of Galaxy Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro in Poland

    ModelLaunch PriceCurrent Price (March 2026)
    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro1099 PLN1099 PLN
    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro1029 PLNfrom approx. 650 PLN

    This is the most important difference in this comparison. Samsung Buds 3 Pro, which launched at 1029 PLN, can now be purchased for 650-899 PLN (depending on the store and promotions). Galaxy Buds 4 Pro cost 1099 PLN without discounts.

    The difference between the launch prices is only 70 PLN. But between the current price of Buds 3 Pro and Buds 4 Pro, it is even 200-450 PLN.

    The question then comes down to: is Adaptive ANC 2.0, better battery performance in tests, head gestures, and Bluetooth 6.1 worth the extra 200-450 PLN?

    If you are buying Samsung earbuds for several years and care about the best ANC and calls, the answer is yes. If you are looking for good value for money, Buds 3 Pro for 650-700 PLN are still great wireless earbuds from Samsung.

    In Europe, the price of Galaxy Buds 4 Pro is 249 euros, which is identical to the launch price of Buds 3 Pro. In the USA, both models were priced at 249.99 USD, but Buds 3 Pro can now be purchased for about 170-190 USD.

    🆚 Who should choose which Samsung earbuds?

    Choose Galaxy Buds 4 Pro if:

    • You care about the best ANC in the Samsung ecosystem
    • You make a lot of phone calls
    • You have a Galaxy S26 (Super Clear Call)
    • You want head gestures and dual assistant (Gemini + Bixby)

    ❓ FAQ

    Do Galaxy Buds 4 Pro work with iPhone?

    Yes. Buds 4 Pro connect to iOS via Bluetooth, but you lose features exclusive to Samsung: head gestures, Super Clear Call, Gemini/Bixby, SmartThings Find, and automatic pairing.

    Do Galaxy Buds 3 Pro support LDAC?

    No. Neither the Buds 3 Pro nor the Buds 4 Pro support the LDAC codec. Both models use Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC UHQ) offering quality up to 24 bit/96 kHz, but only with Samsung smartphones.

    Do Buds 4 Pro have better sound than Buds 3 Pro?

    Yes, but the difference is not drastic. The Buds 4 Pro have better-controlled bass and clearer mid-tones thanks to a larger 11 mm driver. In blind tests, audiophiles will mainly notice the difference.

    Is it worth buying Buds 3 Pro in 2026?

    Yes. For 650-700 PLN, they are one of the best wireless headphones from Samsung with ANC, planar sound, and IP57. The price drop after the release of Buds 4 Pro makes them a great deal.

    How much do Galaxy Buds 4 Pro cost in Poland?

    The launch price of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro in Poland is 1099 PLN. They are available in three colors: Black, White, and Pink Gold.

    Do Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have noise cancellation?

    Yes. The Buds 4 Pro feature Adaptive ANC 2.0, which is next-generation active noise cancellation that monitors the environment in real-time and adjusts the attenuation to specific frequencies.

    What is the difference between Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and regular Galaxy Buds 4?

  • Samsung Galaxy A57 vs Galaxy A56 – which one to choose?

    Samsung Galaxy A57 vs Galaxy A56 – which one to choose?

    Samsung Galaxy A57 vs A56 – the main difference is the more powerful Exynos 1680 processor with AMD Xclipse 550 GPU and Android 16 with One UI 8.5. The display (6.7″ Super AMOLED, 120 Hz), battery (5000 mAh), and cameras (50 Mpix) are identical in both models. The starting price of the Galaxy A57 is about 300 PLN higher.

    The Galaxy A57 is the successor to one of the best-selling mid-range phones of 2025. The Galaxy A56 gained immense popularity due to its solid specifications, attractive price, and long update support. In this comparison of Samsung Galaxy A57 vs A56, we examine both models point by point so you can choose the one that best fits your needs.

    Specifications of Galaxy A57 vs Galaxy A56 – comparison table

    Before we get into the details, it’s worth looking at a side-by-side comparison of the Galaxy A57 and A56. The table below summarizes the Samsung Galaxy A57 specifications and key technical parameters of both models.

    The full specifications of both models are available on the GSMArena website.

    Tip: If you mainly care about the camera and RAM capacity, the Galaxy A56 with 12 GB RAM might be a better choice at a lower price.

    Display of Galaxy A57 vs A56 – identical panel

    Both the Galaxy A57 and A56 feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution (1080 × 2340 pixels) and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The peak brightness reaches 1900 nits, ensuring good readability even in bright sunlight.

    Both models are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+, which effectively safeguards against scratches and minor drops. Samsung did not opt to introduce LTPO technology (dynamic refresh rate change from 1 to 120 Hz), which would help save battery. LTPO remains reserved for the flagship Galaxy S series.

    In the comparison of Galaxy A57 and A56 in terms of display, there are practically no differences. If you liked the screen of the Galaxy A56, you will get exactly the same panel in the A57.

    However, it is worth protecting this great display from day one. Check out durable tempered glass for Galaxy A57 available at homescreen.pl.

    Performance of Galaxy A57 vs A56 – Exynos 1680 vs Exynos 1580

    Here, the Galaxy A57 makes the biggest leap forward. The new Exynos 1680 processor (4 nm) with AMD Xclipse 550 GPU offers a noticeable increase in computing power compared to the Exynos 1580 in the Galaxy A56.

    Benchmarks and real-world performance

    The Exynos 1680 uses CPU cores in a 1+3+4 configuration and a 4 nm lithography, similar to its predecessor. The key change is the Xclipse 550 GPU based on AMD RDNA architecture, which offers ray tracing support. This feature has so far only been available in flagship Exynos 2×00 processors from the Galaxy S series.

    What does this mean in practice?

    • Mobile games run smoother. Titles like Genshin Impact or Call of Duty Mobile should maintain more stable frames per second, and ray tracing will add realism in supported games.
    • Applications open faster, and multitasking (switching between several apps at once) is smoother.
    • Photo and video editing – the stronger GPU accelerates rendering and applying filters in apps like Adobe Lightroom or CapCut.
    • Energy efficiency – the new chip is more energy-efficient, which may result in longer battery life despite higher performance.

    The Galaxy A56 with Exynos 1580 still performs well in everyday use. If you don’t play demanding mobile games and mainly use social media, browsers, and messaging apps, the performance difference will not be noticeable. For the average user, both processors offer more power than needed for daily tasks.

    Camera of Galaxy A57 vs Galaxy A56 – evolution, not revolution

    Both phones have a triple camera setup with a main 50 Mpix sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 12 Mpix ultra-wide, and a 5 Mpix macro. The front camera in both cases is 12 Mpix with an f/2.2 aperture.

    Samsung did not change the hardware configuration of the cameras, but the Galaxy A57 benefits from improved image processing thanks to the new processor. The Exynos 1680 supports AI algorithms for night photography, which enhance noise reduction and dynamic range in low light conditions.

    Key differences in photography

    ScenarioGalaxy A57Galaxy A56
    Daytime photosIdentical quality, same 50 Mpix sensorIdentical quality
    Night modeFaster processing, better noise reductionGood, but slower processing
    Video recordingPotentially better stabilization (stronger GPU)Standard OIS stabilization
    SelfiesNo changes, 12 Mpix f/2.2No changes, 12 Mpix f/2.2
    Portrait with bokehBetter background cutting thanks to AIGood background cutting

    In the comparison of Galaxy A57 vs A56, the camera differences will be subtle. The sensors remain the same, so photo quality in good lighting is practically identical. Improvements will mainly be visible in demanding conditions, such as night photography or dynamic video shots.

    Battery and charging – no changes, but with better optimization

    Both smartphones have a 5000 mAh battery and support 45 W fast charging (Super Fast Charge 2.0). The charger is not included in the box, so you will need to purchase it separately.

    The Galaxy A56 charges from 0 to 65% in about 30 minutes, and a full charge takes about 68 minutes. The Galaxy A57 should achieve similar results, but thanks to the more energy-efficient Exynos 1680, the overall battery life on a single charge may be slightly longer.

    Neither model supports wireless charging, which remains the domain of the flagship Galaxy S series. If you’re looking for a fast 45 W charger compatible with both models, check out network chargers with USB Power Delivery in our store. A solid USB-C cable supporting USB PD will also be useful.

    Design and build quality

    The Galaxy A57 is slimmer and lighter than its predecessor:

    Galaxy A57Galaxy A56
    Thickness6.9 mm7.4 mm
    Weight192 g198 g
    Dimensions161.5 × 76.9 mm162.2 × 77.5 mm

    The difference of 0.5 mm in thickness and 6 g in weight may not look impressive on paper, but it is noticeable in hand. The Galaxy A57 feels more comfortable and appears more refined.

    Both models have a flat frame, an IP67 rating (dust and water resistance up to 1 m for 30 minutes), and Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front. The colors of the Galaxy A57 are gray, light blue, lilac, and navy blue, with a slightly different palette than the A56 (graphite, light gray, olive, pink).

    Choose a case that highlights the slim design of the new model. At homescreen.pl, you will find cases for Galaxy A57 from Ringke, 3MK, Tech-Protect, and Bizon, with over 50 models starting from 29 PLN.

    System and updates – Android 16 vs Android 15

    The Galaxy A57 debuts with Android 16 and One UI 8.5, while the Galaxy A56 launched with Android 15 and One UI 7. This is an important difference, as the newer version of the system means:

    • Longer support for updates from the moment of release
    • New AI features integrated with One UI 8.5, including improved Galaxy AI with context recognition
    • Circle to Search 2.0 – enhanced visual search by circling an object on the screen
    • Improved notifications and interface customization
    • Bluetooth 6.0 (vs Bluetooth 5.3 in A56), providing better connection stability with wireless headphones

    The Galaxy A56 will receive an update to Android 16, but it may take a few months from the release of the new system. Samsung provides 4 years of system updates and 5 years of security patches for both models, which according to Samsung’s official update policy is one of the longest support cycles in the mid-range market.

    Galaxy A57 vs A56 – price and value for money

    This is a key question for many buyers. The launch price of the Galaxy A57 in Poland starts at around 2,299 PLN for the 8/128 GB version, while the Galaxy A56 in the same configuration cost around 1,999 PLN at launch. This is a difference of about 300 PLN.

    VariantGalaxy A57 (launch price)Galaxy A56 (current price)
    8/128 GBapprox. 2,299 PLNapprox. 1,599-1,799 PLN
    8/256 GBapprox. 2,599 PLNapprox. 1,799-1,999 PLN

    The Galaxy A56, which has been on the market for over a year, can be purchased at a significantly lower price than at launch. This makes the value for money of the Galaxy A56 really hard to beat. With the saved 500-700 PLN, you can buy a complete set of protective accessories: a case, tempered glass, and a fast charger.

    Which one to choose? Recommendations based on needs

    Choose the Samsung Galaxy A57 if:
    – You care about the latest processor and the highest performance in mobile gaming
    – You want Android 16 and One UI 8.5 from day one

  • iPhone 15 vs iPhone 17 – a two-year difference in practice

    Switching from the iPhone 15 to the iPhone 17 provides a clearly noticeable leap in quality. The new model finally has a 120 Hz ProMotion display in all versions, larger and brighter screens, much better battery life, and faster charging.

    The cameras are more versatile – in every model, we find dual or triple 48 MP modules, and the front camera has gained Center Stage functionality and 4K recording from both sides simultaneously.

    Additionally, the iPhone 17 is more powerful, heats up less, and introduces local AI features, such as live conversation translation and on-screen content recognition.

    For owners of the iPhone 15 or 15 Plus, the difference is huge – primarily a smoother display and better battery. For users of the 15 Pro/Pro Max, it mainly means a better telephoto lens, a larger screen, and longer battery life.

    Design and Ergonomics

    iPhone 17 vs iPhone 15 – what has changed in appearance and construction?

    Switching from the iPhone 15 to the 17 starts with the first impression. The phone looks and feels different – more modern and more “fitted” to the hand.

    Apple has narrowed the bezels by about 15%, so even the iPhone 17 Pro Max with a 6.9″ screen has almost the same dimensions as the 15 Pro Max with a 6.7″ screen. This means:

    • Larger screen in the same body – perfect for watching videos and working on a split screen.
    • More immersive experiences – fewer visible bezels mean more enjoyment from gaming and watching movies.
    • More comfortable one-handed operation – despite the larger display, you don’t feel that the phone is less handy.

    The Pro versions received a new unibody aluminum casing, which not only looks better than titanium in the 15 Pro, but also dissipates heat better.
    In practice, this means less heating of the phone when recording video or during long gaming sessions.

    The back is covered with matte glass with a new texture – less slippery and less prone to fingerprints.
    New colors (lavender, cosmic orange) add freshness to the line and distinguish the phone from previous generations.

    💡 Everyday difference: the iPhone 17 fits better in the hand, heats up less, and the Air model is record-thin and lightweight – ideal for those who previously chose the 15 Plus but would like something more portable.


    Cameras and Video

    The biggest leap in photo and video quality in years

    This is where the generational leap is truly visible.
    In the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, we had a main 48 MP camera and a 12 MP ultra-wide. The telephoto lens was missing, and zoom was done digitally.

    The iPhone 17 introduces:

    • two 48 MP cameras already in the base model – main and ultra-wide,
    • full set of 48+48+48 MP in Pro and Pro Max – including a 4× 100 mm telephoto lens, with the ability to crop up to 8× without losing quality.

    The effect in practice:

    • ultra-wide photos are sharper and more detailed,
    • zoom is suitable for photographing concerts, architecture, and distant objects,
    • night mode is faster and provides brighter shots than in the 15.

    The front camera now has 18 MP and Center Stage functionality – the frame follows you during video calls, which was previously reserved for the iPad.

    Video:

    • from 4K/60 in 15 you switch to 4K/120 in Dolby Vision,
    • you can record in ProRes RAW 4K/60,
    • you have the ability to synchronize multiple iPhones (Genlock) – a feature useful for video creators.

    💡 Everyday difference: the 15 Pro offered ProRes, but without RAW and without 4K/120. The 17 Pro is practically a miniature film camera that can replace professional equipment in many scenarios.


    Display

    finally 120 Hz for everyone

    This is the biggest “wow effect” when switching from the iPhone 15 or 15 Plus.
    In the previous generation, only the Pro versions had ProMotion 120 Hz and Always-On Display.
    Now:

    • every iPhone 17 has an LTPO 1–120 Hz display,
    • Always-On Display is available for everyone,
    • brightness has increased to 3000 nits – 50% more than in the 15.

    💡 Everyday difference: scrolling, animations, and games are ultra-smooth even in the base model. The display is readable in full sunlight, making it more convenient to use the phone outdoors than ever before.


    🔋 Battery and Charging – realistically longer

    Apple has increased the cells and optimized energy consumption thanks to the A19 and LTPO panels.
    The effect:

    • iPhone 17 Pro Max: up to 39 h of video playback (15 Pro Max – 29 h),
    • iPhone 17 Pro: up to 33 h,
    • iPhone 17 Air: about 27 h despite the thinnest construction.

    Charging:

    • 50% in 20 minutes using a 40 W charger,
    • MagSafe/Qi2 up to 25 W – finally fast wireless charging,
    • reverse charging for AirPods and Apple Watch.

    💡 Everyday difference: the iPhone 15 needed to be charged almost daily. The iPhone 17 lasts up to 2 days without a charger under normal use.


    ⚡ Performance and Cooling – power without throttling

    The iPhone 15 used A16 (15/Plus) or A17 Pro (Pro/Max).
    In the 17, the entire line received A19/A19 Pro with AI accelerators.
    In practice:

    • apps open faster,
    • video export is shorter by 20–30%,
    • in AAA games, the phone maintains a stable framerate longer.

    Thanks to the unibody casing and vapor chamber, the iPhone 17 Pro heats up less and does not throttle as quickly as the 15 Pro.


    🌐 System and Software – iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence

    The iPhone 15 launched with iOS 17, which performed most AI functions in the cloud.
    The iPhone 17 introduces:

    • Apple Intelligence offline – faster and more private operation,
    • Live Translation – real-time conversation translation,
    • Visual Intelligence – recognizes objects and text on the screen with one touch,
    • Faster Siri, which understands context and operates locally.

    💡 Everyday difference: less waiting and less dependence on the internet. The phone becomes more of a “smart assistant” than in the 15.


    📶 Connectivity – faster and more stable

    The iPhone 15 offered Wi-Fi 6/6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
    The iPhone 17 transitions to:

    • Wi-Fi 7 – more stable connection and lower latency,
